Can confirm. I had similar problems with txrep on Fedora recently, and
after finding this post I pruned my whole bayes/txrep SQL database;
after re-learning classification seems to work better again.

I guess bayes would not have been necessary, but whatever. For my
usecase it didn't matter as I'm the only user of the server.

Bit of a shame the system can't handle this "transparently" when calling
`sa-lern` for example. It already handles expire.

there has been a lot of changes between 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 on TxREP plugin, have you followed upgrade instructions (https://github.com/apache/spamassassin/blob/trunk/UPGRADE)
for 4.0.2 version ?
In some cases, it's better to truncate sql tables in order to retrain TxREP quickly.
